We aim to make as much difference as we can to people who are coping with a terminal illness. The Neighbourhood Hubs allow us to take expertise, previously only available to our hospice patients, to others in the community much earlier in their disease.

Our Hubs help patients to understand their condition, learn how to self-manage some of their symptoms, to remain as independent as possible, maintain participation in meaningful activities and achieve realistic goals that add quality to life and improve function. We can also support patients to discuss what the future might bring and plan for this. The Neighbourhood Hubs provide Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy for patients who are living with a palliative/terminal illness or a deteriorating progressive disease. Psychological support is also available for carers.

Patients and carers can be referred to the Neighbourhood Hubs by their GP or other healthcare professional, or can refer themselves directly. Call 01726 829874 for more information.
